Is SearchThatWeb safe?
SearchThatWeb tags default search requests with persistent extension identifiers sent to seek.searchthatweb.com.
SearchThatWeb sets itself as the default search provider and rewrites its search navigations so the URL includes stored per-install identifiers when present. Each default search sends the user's search terms and those identifier values to seek.searchthatweb.com.
AI-generated. Findings may contain errors. Those marked Verified have been manually reviewed.
